Your question seems to be related to another one that came up a couple of days ago about having OOo save files in 2 different formats. For an answer, one nice person wrote a paper on the subject and offered to get it online at http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html. I don't know if this has happened yet, at least I couldn't identify with any certainty. Maybe it's the item at the bottom of the page, "Multi-save Addon in English (Use pkgchk to install)." The persons involved in the discussion were Paul Sutton (the paper's author) and Roderick Singleton--any news?
